Question

Line p goes through (6,12) and has a slope of 5/2 please write in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y=5/2x-3

Explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-12=5/2(x-6)

y=5/2x-30/2+12

y=5/2x-15+12

y=5/2x-3

Answer 2

The equation of line P with slope
`(5)/(2)` and points ( 6 , 12 ) is y =
`(5)/(2)` x - 3 .

Explanation:

Given as :

The slope of the line P is
`(5)/(2)`

The line P passes through point ( 6 , 12 )

Now, Equation of line in slope intercept form can be written as :

`y-y_1 = m( x - x_1)`

Or, y-12 =
`(5)/(2)` ( x - 6)

Or , y - 12 =
`(5)/(2)` x -
`(5)/(2)` × 6

O y - 12 =
`(5)/(2)` x - 15

Or, y =
`(5)/(2)` x - 15 + 12

∴ y =
`(5)/(2)` x - 3

Hence The equation of line P with slope
`(5)/(2)` and points ( 6 , 12 ) is y =
`(5)/(2)` x - 3 . Answer
